This two-part workshop is aimed at faculty who want to create a short 1-2 minute video that acts as a course video trailer. A course trailer is a short, invitational, and engaging video offering a brief description of your course and its significance using images, multimedia, or special effects, similar to a movie trailer. Making a course trailer helps you set a personal tone while inviting students to join you on a course journey.
